Damn, that sucks. Is manual approving + email not enough for the time being?
EDIT: I see that in the GitHub issue you linked, you answer this question. TLDR: No, it is not enough it seems.
this won't scale, captchas are a low-hanging fruit that should have never been removed
They were removed because they don't work with the new system, not because someone felt like removing it. If someone volunteers to add them back, they'll be back
What I mean is why couldn't they postpone the 0.18.0 release then?
Because it addresses a number of critical bugs. Why is nobody in this thread reading the update announcement? They explain themselves well there.
@[email protected] maybe link to it in this post as it'd probably clear up a lot of confusion.
The first link in my post is to the release blog.
Oh fuck you're right lmao, sorry
I understand. It would only be until captchas are back in the release (i.e. 0.18.1). I only suggested this because 0.18 fixed some nasty annoyances.
